Raymond: I read that $750 was what's paid per subscriber per year. That was what puzzled me. 1st, I couldn't get that extra 750-240=510 they got from nonsubscription. That means they have to take in 510x8M~4B of advertisement, charity donation and the likes, or even better as they're still growing fast, 510x13M~6.6B! Just from ads! WOW! It has been 2 days, and I still can't figure it out.
And worse, how do I get the $53 worth per share from 113M shr outstand.? And then another hidden value brought it up to 80-100 per share? Are we talking about physics, chemistry or theology?

Do you remember that was what they said AOL's "take-out value" as $100 and it was red-hot stock when it was at 70 ? Go back a year and a few months, you'll find Marketscope had reported an idiot analyst's "reiterate" strong buy commendation with that note(Alex Brown, maybe?-this guy is saying 50$ nowadays). I am sure many were jumping in at 70 the day before the earning came out just like these days people are jumping in MSFT, INTC, or even the S&P 500 index with their eyes closed-for fear of missing the train. I am also sure people are still bleeding with 30% loss on this dog, and these are the story of most contemporary AOL bulls!

Hey, hold back your tears and smile! Cheers! Let's party!
This is the mother of all bulls!
